Leaving Lauchenggui's home, he parted ways with Tianliang and Yenan. What happened next, he still had to keep from Yenan.

  As long as Lao Chenggui is still at the Construction Bureau, Ye Nan will have to keep her feet on two boats. Their relationship can't be severed just by saying so.

  Xiang Tianliang understands Ye Nian's situation, she and Lao Chenggui are like father and daughter, he doesn't want to make things difficult for her.

  On a winter night, the air is fresh, but the wind that blows in your face can chill you to the bone.

  Liu Qingyang's home was still lit up, and in the living room, waiting for dawn to break, were Liu Qingqing and Li Yajuan, in addition to Liu Qingyang.

  After telling Tian Liang about his encounter with Lao Chenggui, Liu Qingyang clicked his tongue a few times, stroking his beard and shaking his head.

  "What was I saying, Labour's integrity is no longer the same as ten years ago, he is now a thorough politician. Talking cooperation with a politician is like plotting with a tiger."

  He gave a wry smile, "My goal is to let sleeping dogs lie, you're good, I'm good, everyone's good. But the old director thinks that apart from his own interests, he wants me to make everything public and thoroughly bring down Deputy Director Yu."

  Liu Qingqing asked: "What's wrong with it being daytime?"

  Without waiting for the sky to brighten, Liu Qingyang shook his head and said: "A woman's view, doing so would be pleasant, but as the saying goes, 'pulling out radishes brings out mud', it's not just a matter of Yu Feilong alone. If everything is exposed, the Organization Department, Public Security Bureau, Personnel Bureau and other departments will all be affected. Those departments are full of people from Bin Hai, don't forget that Tian Liang is also from Bin Hai. If he does this, he'll be scolded to death by the people of Bin Hai in the future."

  Liu Qingqing nodded, "That's true, there aren't many people from Bin Hai in the city to begin with. Xie Zixuan is already considered a high-ranking official. If things continue like this, it'll almost be a complete wipeout. Regardless of whether what they did was right or wrong, the Xie family will definitely be scolded until dawn and eaten away from the inside out."

  In the whole Qinghe City, Binhai County is the poorest. The people of Binhai are the most discriminated against in the city, but they also value unity the most. If someone from Binhai becomes a "traitor", the saliva of the people of Binhai will drown him to death.

  "So, it seems that Tian Liang's idea is correct. We can only calm things down and cannot stir up trouble." Liu Qingyang said.

  Li Yajuan looked at Xiang Tianliang and asked: "Xiao Xiang, are you not afraid that La Chenggui will also be pulled out by you?"

  "He's not afraid," Tianliang said with a bitter smile. "Firstly, he's about to retire and there are people backing him up. Secondly, he knows I don't dare to touch him. If I were to drag him out as well, it would mean that no one in the Construction Bureau is decent, what would happen to me then?"

  Liu Qingyang nodded his head in approval, "Hmmm, you young man can see so deeply, have some skills, and are a good material for politics."

  "Teacher Liu, I'm at my wit's end, and you're still making fun of me." Xiang Tianliang said with a helpless expression.

  "Hehe, heaven won't cut off all ways for a person."

  Liu Qingqing asked: "Dad, quickly tell me, is there a good way to have it both ways?"

  Liu Qingyang smiled but didn't speak, casting a glance at the three people with his eyes, and began to mutter to himself. Looking at the anxious expressions of the two women, it was indeed the case that "the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuchs are". This little guy Xiang Tianliang really has charm.

  The old man stood up and gave a few dry laughs, then went straight into the study.

  Li Yajuan looked up at the sky and then looked at Liu Qingqing and asked in a low voice: "Teacher Liu, what's going on?"

  Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, the old man will help Tian Liang, this is his old habit, he went to find inspiration."

  "Looking for inspiration?"

  "Yes, when he encounters a difficult problem, he will lock himself up alone." Liu Qingqing nodded.

  Liu Qingyang's reputation is like a peach and plum all over the world, with extensive connections. It's just that he rarely takes action, but once he speaks up, many leaders in the city will still buy his account.

  Toward the brightness in the sky, two women quickly turned the topic back to him.

  "Xiao Xiang, your idea is right. Unless absolutely necessary, we can't make a big deal out of this," said Li Yajuan.

  "Thank you for your understanding and support, Sister Li."

  "Here we go again, saying thanks and all that." Li Yajuan scolded.

  Liu Qingqing felt a bit annoyed when she saw Li Yajuan, and her heart didn't feel quite right. A sour feeling suddenly rose up, and she twisted her waist and pouted her small mouth.

  Xiang Tian Liang felt a sense of relief in his heart, when women meet women, not fighting is already peaceful coexistence, being jealous and quarreling are trivial matters, as a man, it's best to turn a blind eye and pretend to be ignorant.

  Fortunately, Liu Qingyang didn't stay in the study for long and pushed open the door, walking out with slow steps.

  Liu Qingyang's face was full of solemnity.

  "It's daytime, you really want to ask me for advice?"

  Xiang Tianliang supported Liu Qingyang as he sat down, "Look at what you're saying, if I don't ask for your advice, who else can I ask?"

  "This politics thing, I don't quite understand it either." Liu Qingyang nodded and said, "Now you need to first clarify one issue."

  "What's wrong?"

  Liu Qingyang looked at Xiang Tianliang and said, "Have you already made up your mind to spend the rest of your life eating this bowl of political rice?"

  Xiang Tianliang's heart was somewhat bitter, the police dream had been lingering on and couldn't be shaken off, but reality was so cruel, did he have the freedom to make a choice?

  "Teacher Liu, is this question important?"

  Liu Qingyang said, "It's very important, extremely important. This is a lifelong positioning issue for you. If you want to return to your ideal, I can help you. I'll put my old face on the line and send you back to the police force. With your passion for police work and your talent, you can completely make a name for yourself."

  Xiang Tianliang shook his head and sighed: "I've been to the detention center, I'm afraid the case will never be erased, as a policeman, I don't think about it anymore."

  "Hmm, do you have any other ideas?"

  "No, unless this system doesn't want me."

  Liu Qingyang smiled slightly, "So, you've already made up your mind?"

  "Yes, I've made up my mind."

  "Haha, okay, okay." Liu Qingyang laughed heartily, "I knew you'd make this choice as soon as the sky brightened up."

  Xiang Tianliang looked at Liu Qingyang and said: "Teacher Liu, you promised to help me?"

  "Ah, I'll help you." Liu Qingyang said with a smile, "The master leads the way in, cultivation is up to oneself, so let me just help you take the first step."

  "What is the first step?" Tian Liang's spirit was stirred and he asked devoutly.

  "Hehe, it's actually very simple, just learn to go with the flow."

  Xiang Tian Liang stared at Liu Qingyang in confusion, while Liu Qing and Li Yajuan also looked surprised. The respected elder had actually uttered the words "same flow, same pollution".

  Liu Qingyang said: "Whether it's Lao Chenggui or Xie Zixuan and Yu Feilong, they're all out to get you. If you want to deal with them, you have no choice but to learn from their badness, to be even badder than them. Only then can you survive, stand firm, and develop. Otherwise, you'll just become their plaything."

  After a moment of silence, he asked Tian Liang: "Teacher Liu, can you be more specific? What should I do first?"

  Liu Qingyang stretched out one finger and smiled:

  "Take one person down first."
